BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to an exposure method, an exposure apparatus, and a method of manufacturing a device.

2. Description of the Related Art

Wafer processing principally includes alignment processing such as prealignment and global alignment for aligning a wafer, and exposure processing. To improve the wafer productivity, that is, the throughput, various efforts are made to shorten the time taken for each processing.

In alignment processing, a plurality of marks is selected from alignment marks formed on the wafer as sample shots, and the positions of these marks are measured. The sample shots used are as shown in FIG. 4. A low-magnification alignment mark WML and high-magnification alignment mark WMH are formed in each shot. In prealignment, the position of the low-magnification alignment mark in a first sample shot SL1 is measured using a low-magnification scope first, and that of the low-magnification alignment mark in a sample shot SL2 is measured next. Wafer prealignment is performed based on the measured positions of the two low-magnification alignment marks SL1 and SL2.

After the wafer prealignment is performed, global alignment, that is, main alignment of the wafer is performed. In global alignment, several shots on the wafer are measured by taking account of a tradeoff between the productivity of ICs or LSIs and the alignment accuracy. For example, to attain a sample shot arrangement optimum for global alignment, sample shots are arranged outside as much as possible, except the wafer periphery, so as to be nearly symmetrical about the wafer center and nearly uniformly distributed on the circumference. In global alignment, the positions of high-magnification alignment marks are measured in the order of sample shots SH3, SH4, SH5, and SH6 using a high-magnification scope, thereby performing main alignment of the wafer.

After the main alignment is performed, the wafer stage is driven to a first exposure shot E1, and it is exposed. Subsequently, each shot is exposed while driving the wafer stage.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 2005-217333 and disclose details of this conventional method.

The above-mentioned conventional method is effective for a semiconductor exposure apparatus which exposes a wafer by quickly, precisely aligning it. However, the conventional method requires a long alignment time because, for prealignment, it measures the positions of two low-magnification alignment marks on each wafer to be exposed.

The exposure apparatus includes a mechanical prealignment unit (not shown). A controller C controls the mechanical prealignment unit, off-axis image sensing unit OAS, and substrate stage STG.

First Embodiment

An example of alignment processing according to the present invention will be explained with reference to FIG. 1. In step S101, a controller C controls a mechanical prealignment unit (not shown) to perform mechanical prealignment of a substrate W. In this step, mechanical prealignment is performed for the wafer with reference to the notched portion and periphery of the wafer, such as an orientation flat and notch. In step S102, the controller C drives a substrate stage so that a low-magnification alignment mark WML in a first sample shot SL1, which serves as a first mark, falls within the observation range of a low-magnification scope S1 serving as a first scope with reference to the mechanical prealignment result. In step S103, the controller C controls the low-magnification scope S1 to measure the position of the low-magnification alignment mark WML in the first sample shot SL1. Step S103 is a first detection step of detecting the position of a first mark by a first scope.

In step S104, the controller C performs correction (shift correction) by shifting the wafer in the X and Y directions with reference to the position of the low-magnification alignment mark WML in the first sample shot SL1. In step S105, the controller C drives the substrate stage so that a high-magnification alignment mark WMH in a second sample shot SH2 shown in FIG. 2, which serves as a second mark, falls within the observation range of a high-magnification scope S2 serving as a second scope. A sample shot which falls within a range (shaded region) defined by the distance between the sample shot and the first sample shot SL1, at which the mark in the sample shot is allowed to enter the observation range of the high-magnification scope S2 only by shift correction from the first sample shot SL1 even when the wafer has a rotation error or a magnification error, is selected as the second sample shot SH2. That is, the second mark is selected from marks arranged at positions from which they are allowed to enter the field of the second scope only by shift correction based on the detection result obtained in the first detection step. The shaded region is determined in accordance with the mechanical prealignment accuracy and the accuracy of forming a pattern in lower layers.

In step S106, the controller C controls the high-magnification scope S2 to measure the high-magnification alignment mark WMH in the second sample shot SH2. Step S106 is a second detection step of detecting a second mark different from the first mark by a second scope.

In step S107, the controller C performs prealignment (shift correction, rotation correction, and magnification correction) based on the measurement values obtained in steps S103 and S106. Note that the rotation correction means correction by rotating the wafer, and the magnification correction means correction by changing the magnification of the wafer. Step S107 is a first calculation step of calculating a first correction value based on the detection results obtained in the first and second detection steps.

In step S108, the controller C drives the substrate stage to the next sample shot based on the first correction value obtained in step S107. In step S109, the controller C controls the high-magnification scope S2 to perform high-magnification measurement of the next sample shot. Steps S108 and S109 are a third detection step of detecting the position of a third mark by the second scope after the substrate is aligned based on the first correction value.

If it is determined in step S110 that all sample shots have been measured, the controller C performs global alignment based on the measurement values in the second sample shots SH2 to SHN in step S111. In step S112, the controller C exposes an exposure shot E1. The last sample shot SHN to undergo high-magnification measurement is SH5 in FIG. 2. Step S111 is a second calculation step of calculating a second correction value based on the detection results obtained in the second and third detection steps. Step S112 is an exposure step of exposing the substrate after it is aligned based on the second correction value calculated in the second calculation step. Note that, in this embodiment, the positions of the sample shots SH3 to SH5 with reference to a third mark are detected in the third detection step.

In this embodiment, the second sample shot SH2 is selected from the shaded region shown in FIG. 2. However, prealignment can be performed with high accuracy when a sample shot which falls within the shaded region and is located farthest from the first sample shot SL1 is selected as the second sample shot SH2. That is, the second mark is preferably a mark which is allowed to enter the field of the second scope only by shift correction based on the detection result obtained in the first detection step, and which is located farthest from the first mark.

In this embodiment, shift correction, rotation correction, and magnification correction are performed during the prealignment in step S107. However, all of these types of correction need not always be performed if a good mechanical prealignment accuracy and a good accuracy of forming a pattern in lower layers can be ensured. In this case, at least one type of prealignment of shift correction, rotation correction, and magnification correction need only be performed.

Although the low-magnification alignment mark WML and high-magnification alignment mark WMH have different shapes in this embodiment, the same mark may be used.

The positions of the alignment marks in sample shots subsequent to the second sample shot SH2 may be measured using both the low-magnification scope S1 and high-magnification scope S2, as described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-158741. If the alignment mark falls outside the observation range of the high-magnification scope S2, a recovery operation such as an operation of bringing the alignment mark into the high-magnification observation range again based on the measurement value obtained by the low-magnification scope S1 and measuring it may be performed.

In this embodiment, the mark position in a first sample shot is measured by a low-magnification scope, shift correction is performed based on the obtained measurement value, and the mark position in a second sample shot is measured by a high-magnification scope. Based on the measurement values in the first and second sample shots, prealignment correction is performed. Hence, low-magnification measurement need only be performed in one sample shot in place of two sample shots, unlike the prior art. This shortens the prealignment processing time, thus improving the throughput.

Second Embodiment

The second embodiment relates to an exposure method of exposing a plurality of substrates by sequentially aligning them using marks formed on them.

In the first embodiment, prealignment is performed using the measurement values of the alignment marks in different sample shots, which are obtained by two scopes having different magnifications. For this reason, a prealignment correction value is often not precisely calculated in step S107 if there is an offset between the observation centers of the low-magnification scope S1 and the high-magnification scope S2 or there is a drawing offset or the like between the marks. This may make it impossible to perform high-magnification measurement subsequent to step S108. To avoid this situation, the second embodiment in which prealignment can be performed precisely even when there is an offset between the scopes or marks will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3A and 3B.

As for the first wafer, two sample shots are measured by a low-magnification scope S1, like the prior art, to be able to precisely perform prealignment even when there is an offset between the scopes or marks.

FIG. 3A is a flowchart illustrating alignment processing for a wafer to be exposed first in a lot, which serves as a first substrate. In step S201, a controller C controls a mechanical prealignment unit (not shown) to perform mechanical prealignment. In steps S202 to S206, the controller C controls the low-magnification scope S1 to measure low-magnification alignment marks WML in sample shots SL1 and SL2 shown in FIG. 4, and performs prealignment based on the obtained measurement values. In steps S207 to S210, the controller C controls a high-magnification scope S2 to measure sample shots SH3 to SHN, and performs global alignment based on the obtained measurement values. The controller C determines an offset as the difference between a prealignment correction value and a global alignment correction value during, for example, exposure, and controls a storage unit to store the determined offset (S212). Step S212 is a determination step of determining an offset between a first correction value and a second correction value for a first substrate.

As for wafers to be exposed second and subsequent times, prealignment correction values are calculated from the measurement values of the low-magnification alignment marks and high-magnification alignment marks in the same way as in the first embodiment. To obtain an offset for the first wafer, a prealignment correction value (first correction value) including an X correction value PREx, Y correction value PREy, rotation correction value PREθ, and magnification correction value PREmag is calculated based on the low-magnification measurement sample shot SL2 and high-magnification measurement sample shot SH3 to be used for prealignment of the second wafer. The difference between the calculated prealignment correction value and a global alignment correction value (second correction value) which includes an X correction value AGAx, Y correction value AGAy, X rotation correction value AGAθx, Y rotation correction value AGAθy, X magnification correction value AGAmagx, and Y magnification correction value AGAmagy, and is used for exposure is calculated by:

OFFSETx=AGAx−PREx

OFFSETy=AGAy−PREy

OFFSETθx=AGAθx−PREθ

OFFSETθy=AGAθy−PREθ

OFFSETmagx=AGAmagx−PREmag

OFFSETmagy=AGAmagy−PREmag

and the calculated difference is stored as an offset (S212).

Prealignment uses a correction value calculated from the measurement values in two sample shots, so the X- and Y-axis components for rotation correction and magnification correction are common to each other. In contrast, global alignment uses a correction value calculated from a large number of (in this embodiment, four) sample shots, so the X- and Y-axis components are individually obtained for these types of correction. Therefore, the X- and Y-axis components of the rotation correction value and magnification correction value in the offset are controlled individually.

FIG. 3B is a flowchart illustrating the sequence of alignment processing for the second and subsequent wafers serving as second substrates to be exposed after the first substrate is exposed. In step S301, the controller C controls the mechanical prealignment unit to perform mechanical prealignment with reference to the wafer periphery. In step S302, the controller C drives the substrate stage so that a low-magnification alignment mark WML in a first sample shot SL2 falls within the observation range of the low-magnification scope S1 with reference to the mechanical prealignment result.

In step S303, the controller C controls the low-magnification scope S1 to measure the position of the low-magnification alignment mark WML. Step S303 is a first detection step of detecting the position of a first mark on a second substrate by a first scope. In step S304, the controller C performs shift correction (X-Y correction) of the wafer with reference to the position of the low-magnification alignment mark WML.

In step S305, the controller C drives the substrate stage so that a high-magnification alignment mark WMH in a second sample shot SH3 falls within the observation range of the high-magnification scope S2. A sample shot which falls within a range (shaded region) defined by the distance between the sample shot and the first sample shot SL2, at which the mark in the sample shot is allowed to enter the observation range of the high-magnification scope S2 only by shift correction from the first sample shot SL2 even when the wafer has a rotation error or a magnification error, is selected as the second sample shot SH3. The shaded region is determined in accordance with the mechanical prealignment accuracy and the accuracy of forming a pattern in lower layers.

In step S306, the controller C controls the high-magnification scope S2 to measure the high-magnification alignment mark WMH in the second sample shot SH3. Step S306 is a second detection step of detecting the position of a second mark on a second substrate by a second scope.

In step S307, the controller C calculates a prealignment correction value including an X correction value PREx, Y correction value PREy, rotation correction value PREθ, and magnification correction value PREmag, based on the measurement values obtained in steps S303 and S306. At this time, the controller C performs prealignment based on a correction value which includes an X correction value PREx′, Y correction value PREy′, X rotation correction value PREθx′, Y rotation correction value PREθy′, X magnification correction value PREmagx′, and Y magnification correction value PREmagy′, and which takes account of the offset calculated in step S212 during the processing of the first wafer as follows:

PREx′=OFFSETx+PREx

PREy′=OFFSETy+PREy

PREθx′=OFFSETθx+PREθ

PREθy′=OFFSETθy+PREθ

PREmagx′=OFFSETmagx+PREmag

PREmagy′=OFFSETmagy+PREmag

Step S307 is a third calculation step of calculating a third correction value based on the detection results obtained in the first and second detection steps, and the offset between the first correction value and the second correction value.

In step S308, the controller C drives the substrate stage based on the correction value obtained in step S307. In step S309, the controller C controls the high-magnification scope S2 to perform high-magnification measurement of sample shots SH4 to SHN. Steps S308 and S309 are a third detection step of detecting the position of a third mark different from the first and second marks on the second substrate after the second substrate is aligned based on the third correction value.

If it is determined in step S310 that all sample shots have been measured, the controller C performs global alignment in step S311. In step S312, the controller C performs exposure processing. Step S311 is a fourth calculation step of calculating a fourth correction value based on the detection results obtained in the second and third detection steps. Step S312 is an exposure step of exposing the second substrate after it is aligned based on the fourth correction value.

In the second embodiment, the difference between the prealignment correction value and the global alignment correction value for the first wafer is stored as an offset between the first correction value and the second correction value. The use of this offset for prealignment of the second and subsequent wafers allows precise prealignment even when there is an offset between the scopes or marks.

In this embodiment, the X- and Y-axis components of offsets for rotation correction and magnification correction are controlled individually. However, if the difference between the X- and Y-axis components is negligible, their averages for these types of correction may be used as common offsets.

Also in this embodiment, an offset obtained for the first wafer is used to prealign the second and subsequent wafers. That is, the first substrate is a substrate to be exposed first in a lot, and the second substrate is each of substrates to be exposed second and subsequent times in the lot.

However, a wafer to determine an offset need not be particularly limited to the first wafer. For example, to prealign the Mth wafer, an offset may be calculated by statistically processing the difference between the first correction value and the second correction value, which is calculated for each of at least some of a plurality of wafers exposed prior to the Mth wafer.

Alternatively, the average value, mode value, or median value of the differences between the first correction values and the second correction values calculated for all of (M−1) wafers exposed prior to the Mth wafer may be calculated, thereby using the calculated value to prealign the Mth wafer. In this case, any abnormal values may be eliminated.
